I bought my GF a lightbox alarm clock a couple years ago when she was living in Finland and struggling with the dark mornings.

It's a much less stressful way to wake up and we still use it.

Those are a lot of awesome alarm clocks! I don't know if I'd hate them any less though

someone recommend me an alarm clock! i'm looking for an awesome one that doesn't make you want to kill yourself that much when it goes off!

Best alarm clock ever.
(altho I think this might make you want to kill yourself even more)

If anyone else has a video game-playing gf who also has a Wii, they may want to look into the newest Mario Bros. game. It's a classic 2d side-scroller and up to 4 people can play it simultaneously.

heh - not so subtle hint for me to get in the thread.

Heh, my husband made a deal with me - I could open it if I stopped jumping up and down incessantly yelling "wutizitwutizitwutizitwutizit?!" I also let him "open" his present of old school Super Mario World - he's already beaten the first castle so...

This was such a good trade by me.

I would probably know how to use less than half of these knives, but having them would feel pretty bad ass.

I'd suggest a panini machine. It's the single most used appliance we own aside from the fridge, is easy to use and clean, and makes sandwiches a whole lot tastier.

Got a panini machine you like or would recommend?

I would use this to slowly wake to 'Riders on the Storm' (the perfect tune to wake to imo) while in Kobenhaven. This thing has a ton of features and is very handy imo.

This is the one we have.

Does anyone know anything about Roku?

No first-hand experience with it, but wouldn't a 360/PS3 do the same thing w/ Netflix while also being a 360/PS3?

Does it? I already have both of those!

Yes. Also there are stand alone blu-ray players that can do this as well, if you want to spend less than the cost of a PS3 or 360. Also some TV models but that's not near as reasonable.

I know they are bringing it to PS3 or already have. I have a 360 and just streamed King of Kong the other week along w/ some MST3k Bye bye blockbuster!

Yeah, PS3 does it for free, you just have to get a disc mailed to you from Netflix. 360 does it through the firmware (I believe) but you have to have a Live subscription if you don't already.
